This kind of ships was built at the end of the nineteenth century and they were the biggest sailing ships ever built for the transport of thousands of tons of goods.
Ship models were made first of all for religious reasons. Not happy with the banality of their lives the man wanted another life, an eternal life, but the soul - being immaterial - needed a way to reach the afterlife, like to cross a river, and so it needed a boat. The oldest model is a silver boat found at Ur in Iraq, and dated back to 2,000 BC.
